Abstract
In the four final pieces of her latest (and possibly last) book – Dear Life, Alice Munro returns to the stories of her childhood that informed her early writing, Dance of the Happy Shades (1968) and Lives of Girls and Women (1971) in particular. This essay offers an analysis of the “Finale” as an example of legacy writing, and especially what might be viewed as its subgenre: a writer’s legacy.
